Answer 1

It's hard to be sure but, by the shape of it, I'm guessing it's an Orb Weaver. They aren't harmful to humans, and they come in a lot of different colours.

I tried to post a couple of links to pictures of them, but it's not allowing me to do so. If you just google 'orb weaver', 'white orb weaver' and similar things, you'll find pic's of them.

Hope that helps.
